Title (Max 100 Characters)

You Should Know – The Jacksonville Giants are making their way home today as the ABA’s national champions. In a best-of-three Finals, the Giants took down the top-ranked South Carolina Warriors, 2-0. Jacksonville, which completed its second season in the American Basketball Association, wrapped it up Sunday with a 100-91 victory. Prior to the Finals, the Warriors held a 3-0 series lead on the Giants. Jermaine Bell was named Tournament MVP, and Sherod “Hot Rod” Harris and Lamar Sanders were selected to the All-Tournament team. This is the first time in the history of Jacksonville that a Jacksonville-based professional team has won a National Championship.

Jaguars Bite of the Day – It’s no surprise that the Jaguars would love to make a deal with the No. 7 selection in the NFL Draft. It seems like the only way Jacksonville would stay there is if an elite talent falls to them. From the Florida Times-Union, a couple weeks ago, Jags general manager Gene Smith would be letting teams know Jacksonville was open for business with the seventh overall pick.

College Nugget – Louisville coach Rick Pitino said Sunday that his son Richard will become the next head coach at Florida International. FIU fired Isiah Thomas, a Basketball Hall of Famer, on April 6 after three seasons. According to his father, Richard Pitino will leave the Cardinals coaching staff this week. The younger Pitino was a candidate for the job at Florida Gulf Coast last year, but ultimately decided to return to Louisville.

Stat(s) of the Day – By finishing out of the top eight at Harbour Town Golf Links, Luke Donald lost golf’s world No. 1 ranking. Rory McIlroy, who held the top spot for two weeks last month, becomes the world No. 1. Before McIlroy took over in March, Donald was ranked No. 1 for 40 weeks.

Link of the Day – The Crimson Tide opened their title defense with the A-Day Scrimmage.
